Fiddle: Chords for a Country Arrangement

The chord reference for this chair. Pick a root, then any of 62 qualities, and get the shapes plus the thing a chord chart never tells you: what this chair does with the chord once the arrangement is running.

The fiddle chair carries pads under the verse and the turnaround answer between vocal lines. A chord on a bowed instrument is really a choice of double stops — two strings at a time, drawn from these tones — plus the arpeggio the bow can walk through the rest of them.

The diagrams below mark stopping points on the GDAE fingerboard, not frets — there are none. Treat each dot as a place your finger has to find by ear, and use the playback to check that it did.
